This feature is a must, it's pathetic that we would have to vote for this!

It should be in the software - period, there are plenty of pointless extra features that I'll never use coming up in Q2018 - how about something that would actually aid us designers without having to use workarounds!

My company pays good money for the software and whilst it has greatly improved over the years I can not believe such a basic feature is missing.

For me as a graphic designer I use Quark to create printed materials - the Unlimited Android Apps, Digital Preview Improvements, HTML5 Export Optimizations, Grouped Interactivity, Collect for Output Digital etc are features that I'd rarely need to use.

Whilst adding arrowhead styles may not seem as exciting as the new digital/web/app features, it would actually be really useful to us old school dinosaurs. You introduced some magnificent page layout features in 2016 & 2017 - would adding arrow styles really be that difficult for you guys to achieve?

I am Quarks biggest champion in my company, I've been using it since the beginning, yet there are many that would prefer to switch to In-Design - OVER MY DEAD BODY and I have a major say in what is purchased!

Go on make a loyal older designers day and at least think about in for one of the future updates to 2018.

For example: Color fonts, frames with different edges. I absolutely understand that marketing is interesting. Yes, InDesign does not have it, but honestly, how many users will use these features? QuarkXPress is missing some absolutely basic features today. When I have time, I'll write a list of 30 features a professional graphic artist needs every day, but Quark does not offer them. I like Quark, but it really is sad that the basic functions must be voted!

And that's exactly our challenge, we have so many customers working in different geographies and industries that it is impossible to come to a consensus.

Hardly any feature is "difficult", all features take time (in implementing and testing). So even the smallest feature competes for resources.

Sure we can make (and are making) guesses where the industry is going, like PDF/A is a requirement that is quickly coming, though not many people are asking for it yet. Also nobody asked for making PDF editable and that's one of the most praised feature saving time.

To avoid us making wrong assumptions, we introduced the public ranking where we have invited all customers (and non-customers) to rank the importance of features on the wishlist. I feel that's the most "objective" way of finding out whether a feature is "so basic and absolutely" needed that we should add it.

3. Ability to choose and reset cmyk breakdowns from imported PANTONE colours rather than be forced to use built in libraries. This means that you would be able to export to pdf with spot colours but have control over their cmyk alternate values.

4. Ability to turn colour management OFF.

5. An output mode that clearly indicates that rgb will be converted to cmyk using profiles and that cmyk numbers will be untouched (Device Dependant in a PDF)
